Mammoth Lakes Trip - Day 1 - Part 2


So, remember the big mountain of rocks from the last post?  Yeah.  Well, we climbed all the way up.  Holy cow.  And when you got up and over, there was this...Duck Lake.  We had reached our destination!





I assume the trail went down to the lake?  We didn't follow it any further.  We stopped at the top, rested and enjoyed the view. :)


There was a different trail that you could take as well to a smaller lake - Pika Lake.  You can see it behind Duck Lake.
When we go back sometime, we will have to make that a goal as well.


That whole hike was worth this!


Refueling with an apple, peanut butter and a couple sticks of beef jerky.  I could have stayed there all day.

Then we headed back.  Just about 10 miles for that hike with elevation gain of 2,631 ft.  Whew!


We stayed at the Mammoth Mountain Inn.


The top of those mountains would be where the wedding would be!
This was the view from our room.


We ended the day with dinner at the Pita Pit.
Yum!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup mayo 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.).  Season with salt and pepper.
